Citrusafe grill cleaners are made by Bryson Industries, which describes itself as "a North Carolina-based, private company founded in 2001 that manufactures non-toxic, non-flammable chemical products, including the Citrusafe and CitruShine brands." Bryson lists its address as Thomasville, NC and runs the banner "Made In The USA Since 2001" across its store.
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Citrusafe BBQ Grill Cleaner, Grill Exterior Cleaner and other cleaning sprays | Bryson Industries, Thomasville, NC | Made in USA |
| Heavy Duty Grill Scrubber, replacement pads and grill care kits | USA ("Made in the USA!" on the listing) | Made in USA |
| 3in1 Nylon Grill Brush with Cookbox Scraper | USA ("Made in USA" on the listing) | Made in USA |
The tools carry the same claim. Current listings for the Citrusafe grill scrubber and refill kit end with "Made in the USA!", the 3in1 Nylon Grill Brush with Cookbox Scraper is titled "Made in USA," and the BBQ Grill Cleaner spray listing opens with "Made in the USA." Bryson's own product pages for the scrubber and pads do not print a separate origin line beyond the site-wide banner.

About Citrusafe
Citrusafe grill cleaners, brushes and scrubbers come from Bryson Industries, a private company in Thomasville, North Carolina, founded in 2001.
A grill cleaner from a North Carolina chemical maker
Bryson Industries describes itself as "a North Carolina-based, private company founded in 2001 that manufactures non-toxic, non-flammable chemical products, including the Citrusafe and CitruShine brands." It lists Thomasville, North Carolina, as its address.
Citrusafe is its grill line: a citrus-based BBQ grill cleaner spray, a grill exterior cleaner, grill soap, a stubborn stain remover, cooler cleaners and deodorizer, patio furniture cleaner and gas log soot remover. Bryson also sells nylon grill brushes, a cookbox scraper, a heavy-duty grill scrubber with replaceable pads, and kits that pair them with the spray. Its other brands include CitruSafe PRO industrial cleaners, Bryson Screen Cleaner, New-Again rust remover and ElimiShield.
What the made in USA banner covers
Bryson's store carries the banner "Made In The USA Since 2001" on every page. The cleaning sprays are Bryson's own formulas, so that is the clearest case.
Bryson's product pages for the brushes and scrubber pads do not print a separate origin line. The listing for the CitruSafe 3in1 Nylon Grill Brush with Cookbox Scraper does state "Made in the USA." If origin matters for a brush or pad refill, check its own listing or package.
